The most perfect app!!!!

by

Love this app. I downloaded the app while in Paris. Ran out of time chasing down other attractions and didn't get a chance to follow/use the app while in Paris. However, now that I'm home, I'm enjoying the app immensely. I've only been home for 48 hours and it's nice to take this time travel tour and "go back to Paris" in my mind. The app is a compelling way to learn about French history and very professionally done. Highly recommended for French history buffs looking for new insights (I learned a lot!!!!)

You don't have to be in Paris to enjoy this compelling, dramatic historical app, illustrated with art of the period and impeccably written and narrated. Fascinating and fun, packed with games and adventures, enhanced by language options and a musical score...Absolutely not to be missed!

Great app!

Love this app. Pity that I didn’t have it the last time that I was in Paris but I won’t make that mistake again.
